Connect on Common Ground
We invite all municipalities, First Nations and beneficiaries of funding from Sask Lotteries to recognize Parks and Recreation Month this June! Designating June as Parks and Recreation Month is one small way to celebrate the benefits of parks and outdoor recreation spaces.
We’re encouraging people in Saskatchewan to Connect on Common Ground this summer and celebrate the inclusiveness and diversity of our parks and outdoor recreation spaces. We want people from all walks of life to connect outside with their families and friends in parks and recreation spaces.

Are We Getting to Inclusion? A Reflection on Recreation, Inclusion and Access Provisions with Dr. Jackie Oncescu (Virtual)
Date: Thursday, June 20, 2024
Time: 12:00PM - 1:00PM
Research shows that social and economic inequalities prevent equity-owed residents from accessing community recreation and sports, mainly due to the “pay-to-play” model tied to household income. In Canada, stakeholders often use temporary solutions like fee assistance programs and free events, which fail to create sustainable, equitable access. This webinar will share insights from the REimagining Access to Sport, Recreation and Leisure project on true access and inclusion and explore new ways to achieve these goals.
